Sub Rebellion Cometh

Some of you may remember our preview awhile back on Irem Software's 3D submarine title -U- Underwater Unit. A spiritual follow-up to the classic PlayStation and Saturn classic, In the Hunt, Underwater Unit was thought to be an overseas only product until today's announcement by Metro 3D. Getting the name change to Sub Rebellion, it'll be coming to the states in October.

"We are very excited to release a first glimpse of Sub Rebellion, one of Metro3D¿s anticipated titles for 2002 supporting the ever-popular PlayStation 2 game console," said Joseph Morici, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Metro3D. "Irem Software Engineering is a respected Japanese developer and manufacturer in both the coin-operated and video game software industry. Together we look forward to sharing this hot new submarine fighter with the more than 11 million PlayStation 2 owners that currently exist across the country."

Already previewed by The Reverend David Smith in April, we've updated the article with screenshots and media from the English version of the game (which we've added here as well). Expect even more media from the murky depths of Irem Software soon.
